How addicted are you? Are you able to put it down and go out into the fresh air? Do you go to bed late chatting on EP and wake up still logged in? I know people will get defensive on this, and I'm sure it will further prove my point. Not trying to start a fight, just want to see what you all think. :) Much love friends.

It certainly is not a cure for those things, and if the pop-ups I get are any indication, there is a big potential that your computer may contract a virus, but as far as entertainment value, it must have merits as I continue to return. So, your body cannot operate on junk food, and neither can your mind... but all things in moderation is a good rule of thumb.

There are some creeps for sure. I just seem to get two kinds of friends on here...those who want to have sex, and those who want to cry about their problems. Not too many who are literally just here to talk and meet people on what I consider a 'normal' level. Thanks for your input!

i just need someone to talk to...EP is as good as i have found so far...<br />i still cannot share everything,....but when a friend dies or turns their back on me for whatever reason,..or my so-called GF goes weird on me,..well at least i can come crawling back to EP..<br />Often think of cancelling the net,.and how would i get on without it..<br />Mostly its EP that would be most missed..<br />But yes,.am also wary of the downsides you mention...<br />Hard to discern whether it makes things better or worse,.but i tend to think it helps.

depends on who's using it, their state of mind, reason for using the internet and ability to put it in perspective emotionally & physically.<br /><br />i'm using is this summer b/c I don't work in the summer and it's been a fun escape within reason.
